Since the launch of Plant Life Balance in October 2017, we have seen an incredible uptake of the campaign within retail nurseries and have received a huge amount of positive feedback, below is just one of the reviews we wanted to share with you.

The third 202020 Vision tour is all about 'doing', with a focus on practical outcomes. In collaboration with our state specific partners we are curating events in five states that will provide policy insights, practical advice on implementation and overcoming common barriers, case studies and tips and tricks to get the community involved.

At the end of November, the New South Wales Government Architect announcedGreener Places, a draft greening policy that aims to put green infrastructure at the heart of city-making. After the final policy is released, it will guide the design, planning and delivery of green infrastructure in urban areas across NSW.

South Australia is currently undertaking extensive planning reforms. These reforms have provided a unique opportunity to better integrate provisions for public open space, green infrastructure and water sensitive urban design into new developments.

ThePlant Life Balance campaign has been in market for one month and continues to grow from strength to strength. The campaign is made up of the Plant Life Balance app, 5 x outdoor and 2 x indoor inspirational looks and the Simple Science, and has been supported by a strong PR and media campaign.

On October 30, thePlant Life Balance campaign launched online and in-store in 100 retail nurseries across Australia. The response from consumers has been overwhelmingly positive and the campaign has received great coverage from a range of online media outlets.

The campaign aims to inspire a new generation of green space lovers while building their confidence in gardening.

An integral part of the consumer's journey from using the app to purchasing their plants is their interaction with retail nursery staff. It is really important that staff feel comfortable discussing the simple science behind the campaign and how the app works. To help staff feel comfortable a Plant Life Balance learning module and accreditation test has been developed.
